The Dare Is Obsessed With ‘Perfume’ As He Announces His Debut Album, ‘What’s Wrong With New York’

It feels like yesterday The Dare burst onto the scene with “Girls.” That was actually almost two years ago now, though, which would put his upcoming debut album into “long-awaited” territory. Well, await no more (well, for not much longer): Today (June 21), The Dare announced What’s Wrong With New York, a new album that’s set for September 6.

He also shared a new song, “Perfume.” The tune is characteristically punchy, propelled by in-your-face drums and bass, with guitars and synths working their way into the mix that’s as straightforward as it is dynamic.

Furthermore, The Dare is going on his first headline tour of North America this fall, throughout September. Tickets are on sale now, so find more information here.
